I wish I was a morning person, but I have the hardest time dragging myself out of my bed. And I find out when I do want up earlier then normal...I'm exhausted by mid morning...thank goodness i work from home and can take little cat naps.

Initially it is difficult to get up early, but once up, you're up! You may as well hit the gym? I just started getting up at 4:45 so I could be to gym just after 5a. The key is setting all your stuff out the night before so you don't get bogged down in looking for this and that. I feel good getting my workout out of the way for the day!!:)

My 14 year old son - my unofficial spark buddy

A few weeks ago I noticed my son getting up early to exercise before school. He was doing push ups, chin ups, triceps and hanging leg lifts. I was impressed and told him so and that I need to start doing that myself. Then I heard the wonderful question "Mom, you want to get up early and work out with me?". On MWF I get up with my son to do push ups, chin ups, triceps, hanging leg lifts and free weights. It is paying off and I get to spend quality time with my son. Life is Good!334

Sneaking in Strength Training

For me, incorporating strength training in the early stages was hard. My secret? Since you are drinking more, you will be going to the bathroom more. Use that as a reminder to do something for strength. Upon your return, do a quick set of squats or wall push ups, or if you work in a highrise bldg, use the restroom two floor up or down and use the stairs to do step ups or calf raises.
